I'm really happy for Hurley. He turned down big raise last offseason to stay here and get this team into the tournament and he got the job done.

Dan is about more than just money. He's done rebuilding. He just wants to coach and win and be in a place that makes both as easy for him as possible.

For once, it's looking like it could be us.

Agreed, but it's always nice when someone makes a decision like that and they get the positive results.

Interesting tidbit in there that I had not heard yet about him having that meeting with the five guys after the Fordham loss. I think it worked.

Amazing to think back to the Coach's Show at George's right in the middle of Rutgers' play to grab Hurley. You could tell he didn't want to leave this group and this great opportunity to finish the rebuild and maintain a newfound level of success at URI. He later confirmed those feelings in the many interviews/quotes he provided following his decision to stay here.

It all worked out:
For Dan
For Hass and the team
For the University
For the Basketball Program
For the Fans
